And today… my famous racing school 😄
27 young riders, from #Cheltenham to #Matlock, #Newport #SouthWales to Blaenau Ffestiniog, all together for a four-hour, intense #cyclocross session.

Kids pushing each other, learning, levelling up — exactly what grassroots sport should look like.

It’s a genuine pleasure and honour to coach these young people.
And now… we rest.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas 🎄🚴‍♂️

Looks like those two up front might wrap up the league between them this year. The winner’s a 2nd-year U12, so Ethan should be the dominant one next season 💪

Shame really — the #NorthWales courses are far more interesting than the ones in the #NorthWest, and definitely more than #Shropshire ’s 😅 #Wales #cyclocross #grassrootscycling #cx

Really excited for our next build project! As Ethan moves up to an Emonda, we’re repurposing his old Domane frame for a young triathlete. I’ve chosen a cost-effective premium mix from Miche, Zipp, SwissStop, Microshift & HupCC. It’s going to be a fast, capable race bike—and I can’t wait to hand it over at our racing school. 🚴‍♀️🔥

🎥 Another fantastic day racing at the Northwest Cyclocross League! 🏁🚴‍♂️

Ethan was unstoppable, putting an incredible 2 minutes and 45 seconds between himself and the next boy in his category! 🥇 His first race back to full health (blocked nose, who cares!) and what a performance.

We’re already looking forward to Wednesday’s race with the North Wales Cyclocross League. Bike prepped by The Friendly Bike Mechanic!
